Product Description
Why have two separate machines when you can make coffee and espresso at the same time? You set the brew strength and size, the machine does the rest. You can even pour yourself a cup before it finishes brewing with the handy Pause 'N' Serve feature. Ten-cup carafe. One-year warranty. Model BCO70.
Amazon.com Review
Both a regular coffeemaker and espresso machine, this 1,500-watt appliance has separate water tanks for simultaneously brewing drip coffee and espresso. The espresso machine side has a milk frother for creating cappuccinos and lattes. Separate knobs select the strength of both regular coffee and espresso. Making espresso follows tradition: tamp coffee into a filter basket inside a filter holder, twist the filter holder onto the machine, pour water into the machine's boiler, and press a button. Depending on the amount of water, up to four 2-ounce cups then flow into an 8-ounce glass carafe. Making regular coffee also follows tradition: put a filter in the filter basket, spoon in coffee, add water to the coffeemaker's removable tank, and press a button. Up to ten 5-ounce cups of coffee then flow into a 50-ounce glass carafe on a warming plate. (For five and fewer cups, the brewing process can be sped up to provide full flavor.) The brewing process pauses if the carafe is removed from the warming plate for a mid-brew pour. Encased in both bright and matte-finish black plastic, the machine measures 16 inches wide, 13-1/2 inches high, and 9 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

I bought this coffee maker for my husband to replace an old dual machine we had for years. We only used the expresso side on occasion but the drip coffee maker got used more regularly, but not everyday. After about 16 months, it stopped working. The water would not heat or go through the filter. Thankfully I bought it at [...] so they took it back well past the warranty and gave me a full refund. Given our experience and the short-lived nature of this machine, I would not recommend it.

I bought this coffee maker from amazon a couple years ago and am getting ready to replace it since I bought a high-end espresso machine.
I've been reading through the reviews and I'm shocked so many people have so many negative things to say; I never had issues with this machine. It did everything it claimed to do, and it did it well-enough, but then I had previously owned several lower rung machines that I considered to be far worse.
One reviewer said the frothing wand was counter-intuitive... he's right. It's on an odd arch that makes it difficult to swivel. But it's hardly impossible to work with. The frother on this machine actually works remarkably well. You'll get good foam.
And no, you can't make espresso and steam milk at the same time.
If there is one legitimate complaint to make about the design of this machine it's that it contains a flap for something that isn't used on this model; literally, there's a lid that opens up right over the espresso portion of the machine & it serves no purpose. Maybe you store stuff in there? I don't know, but whatever you do, don't pour water in.
Lastly, the only other "complaint" I can make is the espresso itself. You are not going to get barista quality espresso from a machine like this. Depending on what your tastebuds find tolerable, you will get an espresso that's drinkable, but there are far too many factors that contribute to flavor. The beans themselves, the quality of the grind, the amount of pressure -- all of these are of the utmost importance when talking flavorful espresso.
Good machine with some gotcha's September 21, 2008

I've owned this product for about three years now and I have some mixed reviews about which I've listed below.
Pros
*Make a great cup of coffee / espresso / cappuccino.
*Simple to use (especially after some practice).
Cons
*Bad idea to have glass carafes. (They break easily and the replacements cost upwards to 1/3 of the total price of the machine.)
*Coffee doesn't come out very hot, (Most of my family microwaves their coffee to warm it up even though its just been brewed. Add this to the fact that the coffee is being brewed into a non-insulated glass carafe and you lose even more heat!)
*Coffee warmer turns on even during cappuccino / espresso brewing. (Huge waste of energy plus it can lead to an easy burn!)
*Flimsy feel. (The buttons, knobs and baskets all feel like they're going to fall off or break.)
*EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS (I think DeLonghi makes a ton of money from their replacement parts because the unit uses flimsy parts which break easily and the replacement parts cost a TON! Instead of a replacement glass carafe costing $6 DeLonghi charges $30!!!)

I don't know why some of these people are complaining, I've owned this coffee maker for over two years now with daily use. It still works just as well as the first day we got it: perfect coffee every time. It's easy to use, great size and design, large capacity, and great style. My one complaint is that it would be good if there were a separate water reservoir for the steam system, it's very easy to accidentally brew with the extra water that's intended for steaming with.

Es la segunda cafetera DeLonghi que he comprado en 10 anos. Estupenda maquina para preparar expressos y a un precio atractivo. Lo unico incomodo de esta maquina de cafe en comparacion al modelo anterior es que la espumadera para la leche se encuentra relativamente baja y dificulta su uso.
